dance.
"You mean here at Diego's?"
"Yes and no. I mean like this, holding one another, being with one another in all ways. It feels like we have done this over and over again, in another time, another life.” She sighed again and laid her head on his shoulder.
"This, meaning the dancing we are doing right now, Lili?” She could feel him probing as if there was something else he wanted to ask, to say. Y et at the same time, it felt as if he were being evasive. She arched back to look into his eyes.
"No, it's more than that, as I have always said. It's as if we know one another. It's as if we have known one another before, in the past; it’s like Déjà vu. Don't you see it, Samael? Tell me you see it, not only that, you feel it."
He pressed his lips to hers, hungrily; it seemed to be the only answer to her question. Not just a kiss filled with lust, but one that not only curled her toes but also warmed her heart. He ended the kiss, only to kiss her again repeatedly, seeking entrance into her mouth as he slid his tongue along the crease of her lips. She groaned and drew him into her mouth, tasting him with her own tongue. She felt her heart flutter in her chest and sighed when he stopped, her eyes holding his for long moments.
"It's times like this I know I knew you before. When I sense I've loved you just as strongly as I love you now. I feel like I need to remember something, but it seems foggy and too late to do so." His strong hand cupped her chin, and he caressed it softly. Peering into her eyes, he smiled, and speaking softly to her, he said, "Some love is timeless, like our love for one another.”
So caught up in the beauty of the moment and mesmerized by his eyes, Liliana didn't notice Eva standing there until she was tapped on the shoulder. She groaned and turned to look over her shoulder.
"Okay, how long are you going to leave me with that infuriating man?"
"You mean Clay?"
"Yes, Clay. He is exasperating. I refuse to be left with him any longer."
Liliana exhaled noisily and then looked to Samael. "Hold on, baby, let me take her to the bathroom to get calmed down. Please go over and talk with Clay?"
Samael nodded and leaned down to kiss her quickly, giving a nip to her bottom lip. She squeaked and pushed him towards the table that Clay was sitting at and then grabbed Eva's arm, pulling her along towards the women's restroom.
Once in the small bathroom with its pristine white walls, she made sure that no one else was in there before she turned to look at Eva. "Okay, what gives? I can tell you are attracted to him. Tell me what the hell he did to have you so pissed."
“He’s forceful.” The look on her sister’s face was almost comical. Since when did Eva pout?
“Um, come again? Forceful? How do you mean? Did he hit you?” She knew that couldn’t possibly be it, but why else would her sister have her panties in a bunch over someone she was obviously attracted to?
“No. He hasn’t hit me. But he is domineering.” When Liliana laughed, Eva rolled her eyes at her and glared. “What the hell is so funny?”
“So he is forceful and domineering because you finally have a man that won’t do what you want him to?” Liliana grinned at Eva as her sister continued to scowl at her.
“Oh! You would never understand because you follow Samael like a puppy dog!” She threw her hands up in the air, still standing there glowering.
“If you don’t want him, I am sure there are plenty who will, E.” Liliana watched as Eva’s frown deepened. “Hmm, I can see you don’t like the thought of that. Go back out there and have fun. Let him take care of everything if he wants. It will be a nice change for you. Clay is a very nice man. I knew you would be attracted to him. That’s why I invited him here tonight to meet you.”
Eva’s eyes widened, and Liliana could tell that her words had fully penetrated her artificial anger. “You did what?”
“I invited Clay here to meet you. He’s a very nice
